Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows Administrator's Guide


Scheduling the Decision Support Loader with Tivoli Storage Manager

You can schedule the Decision Support Loader (DSL) to run automatically using the TSM Scheduler. Before defining a schedule, ensure that the backup-archive client is installed on a dedicated Windows workstation where the DSL is installed.

Use the following procedure to schedule the DSL:

  1. On the TSM server:
    1. Register the client node. Assume that the client node you registered is called ASTROdsl.
    2. Define a client schedule on the server from which the DSL will extract data. For example, if the schedule is called TSM_DSL and client node ASTROdsl is registered in the STANDARD domain, enter:
      define schedule standard tsm_dsl action=c 
      object='"c:\program files\tivoli\tsm\decision\tsmdsl"'
      

      Notes:

      1. The installation directory path for the DSL is:
        "c:\program files\tivoli\tsm\decision\tsmdsl.exe"
        

      2. Enclose the full directory path in quotation marks as shown in the example:
    3. Associate the client node to the tsm_dsl schedule. For example:
      define association standard tsm_dsl ASTROdsl
       
      
  2. On the client's workstation:
    1. Ensure that the scheduler is installed.
    2. Start the scheduler for the client. Leave the scheduler running until scheduled rollups are no longer needed. To start the scheduler, you can open a command prompt window and navigate to where the backup-archive client is installed and enter:
      > dsmc schedule
      
Note:If the DSL is not processed according to the schedule you have defined, check the directory path where the DSL is installed.
